But Villarreal seems to have more at stake as they are currently on 17th place and just three points shy from going below the relegation zone.
Miguel Angel Lotina will also be coaching for the first time for Villarreal tonight. He took the position from Jose Molina this week.
Last time the two went head to head, Jose Mourinho's men got a confident 3-0 victory, thanks to the goals from Karim Benzema, Kaka, and Angel Di Maria. However, Real Madrid's morale could be experiencing a low, after an unexpected 1-1 draw last weekend for the squad against Malaga which happened in Santiago Bernabeu.
